Before we get into the nitty-gritty of pie-making, take a moment to soak in this delightful view of our star. Seriously, this pie could win awards for its looks alone!
Ingredients That Will Make You Smile
To whip up this deliciousness, here are the ingredients you’ll need. Trust me, you might want to make a double batch!
- 1 pre-made pie crust (because we’re keeping it simple)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt (because life needs a little balance)
- Chocolate shavings or sprinkles for topping (optional, but why wouldn’t you?)
Instructions to Make Magic Happen
Here’s how to bring this chocolate cream pie to life!
- In a medium saucepan, combine cocoa powder, sugar, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Add the milk and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. Keep stirring like your life depends on it!
- Once it starts to thicken, remove it from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. You should be feeling the chocolate love by now.
- Let the mixture cool to room temperature. Try not to eat it all before it gets into the crust! That’s the hardest part.
- While it cools, whip the heavy cream in a bowl until soft peaks form. It’s like you’re creating clouds of happiness!
- Fold the whipped cream into the cooled chocolate mixture. Just gently, like it’s a baby bird — we want this mixture fluffy and light.
- Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-made pie crust and spread it out evenly. Give it a little wiggle to settle things in.
- Chill in the fridge for a minimum of four hours, or until it’s set. Try not to peek too often; it’s like waiting for a surprise party!
- When you’re finally able to cut a slice, sprinkle some chocolate shavings or sprinkles on top and prepare for the compliments to roll in!
And there you have it! An incredibly delicious chocolate cream pie that’s bound to please even the pickiest eaters. Enjoy every creamy bite and make sure to share (or not!). Happy baking!
